Within the Delhi CRT, feminist ethics of care have evolved in three distinct ways – among CRT members, amidst CRT members, field assistants & research assistants as well as between field assistants and participants. In this presentation, we reflect on the ways in which our practise of care has percolated through the successive levels of the CRT and expanded at various stages of the project. This ‘flow of care’ from CRT members to the participants of the study, as well as the ‘extension of care’ at different stages of the project has played a significant role in bridging social distance and developing intimacies which define feminist research. Our decisions, tasks and writing as a CRT have centred care from the onset of our engagement with the project. Further, the reciprocity of these ‘acts of caring’ has shaped our research praxis as feminist scholars ‘doing’ geography in the Global South.
